We had an excellent weekend break at this charming hotel, lovely furnishing and peaceful atmosphere. Loved our bedroom with the large modern bathroom. All the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The staff in the restaurant worked very hard, we enjoyed the meals and the complimentary scones. Would definitely stay there again, especially if we get another weekend deal through... More

We had a lovely overnight stay at the beautifully renovated George Hotel - it is a number of years since we stayed here last and it has not lost any of it's original character or charm. I was very impressed with the attention to detail, particularly with regards to the soft furnishings. We stayed in one of the Club Rooms... More

We were here as a couple for a two night break, on our first visit to Penrith. The location of the hotel is spot-on - right in the centre of the town with plenty of parking in the hotel car park. On arrival, we had a bite to eat while our room was sorted (the trip down took a while... More

We were here last October - with the builders - so this time a different story. Parking nice and easy in the centre of town. Rooms renovated just a few carpets to do. Food great, service better for evening meal than for breakfast. Overall a pleasant stay in a very interesting hotel.

The George is a lovely historic hotel, carefully refurbished with sumptuous soft furnishings and spacious, comfortable rooms.

Unfortunately, of anniversary treat of an overnight stay on Saturday 19th May was really diminished by the quality of the food. Maybe we hit a bad night; there were two large... More

Great 2 night break. Good food,comfortable, clean refurbished room and smashing staff. Customer care at its best. Well done the George team. We intend to return and recomend this hotel to anyone who wants to dip out the rat race for a couple of nights.

Evening meal in Dappers bar good size and quality. Both enjoyed roasts, struggled to eat sweet, but too good to leave. Breakfast good. I enjoyed the full English my wife had... More
